Good Old Fashioned Coffee.

The old fashion of boiling coffee and clearing
it with egg is still popular with some house
wives The advantages of this method are
that the coffee is perfectly clear; n peculiar
flavor, very agreeable to many coffee drink
ers, is impaired by the egg. and when milk or
cream is added the coffee turns a rich yellow
color, very inviting and not seen in coffee
made without egg.

The colOrsa Man in Congress-.

The Republican newspapers, say
the Detroit Free Press do not seem as
seriously moved as might be expect
ed by the gradual elimination OF the
colored man from Congress. There
is a hint in their comment on the SUBJ
ect ofsa feeling on the part ofthe par
~ that II has no further use for the
colored Representative and no longer
cares to take the trouble TO elect him.
Speaking of the fact that bat one ne
gro member has been chosen TO the
Fifthieth Congress, the Buffalo Elk
press says:
The year 1869 marked tho advent
of the negro in Congress, aud since
that time he has been an uninterest-
ing and usually silent figure in that
National body. Ills gradual retire
ment may well be taken as as indica-
ton of his political subjugation, and
in SO much its Significance is impor-
tant. ltJnay be questioned, however,
If his presence in the halls of legisla-
ton was of any benefit TO the indi-
vidual member or to the race. To sit
in somber dumbness through the
daily sessions, TO vote with the Re-
publican side and draw his monthly
treasury warrant from the Sergeant
alarms was generally the sum total
of the negro members achievements.

break silence interest in his remarks

"Joe" Blackburn-or "Jo,' as he
writes it-has been in the United
States Senate for more than year,
and has not made single speech I'M
less it was in the Star Chamber Ex-
ecutive session, where the outside
world could not hear it. The conn-
try cannot understand this, but it
has been and is yet subject of ma
tional surprise. The matter was up
for discussion in group of gentle
men a few days since. A celebrated
physician was present, and asked for
the reason of the passiveness of the
great Bluegrass orator. "Oh," said a
Ken.uckian, ait is an unwritten law
of the Senate that a new member
must keep his mouth shut and listen
and learn for stated period. If lie
does not take back seat the old ice
bergs will vote him fresh, and freeze
him out. When lie gets up TO speak
they will take walk into the cloak

Yankee sailor. In Rome, in one of

Jour, riding on an ass and crowned

person had been so jeered at by the

hurled at him that 1t was impossible
TO get any one TO take the part. Wages
were at last offered, and the Yankee
sailor, who was just in from a voy-
age, and had heard of the offer, hired
himself for the occasion. He Joined

bridge in Rockbridge County, Virginia,
but very few know that there are other
natural bridges in the Republic. Nor
is 1t strange, for they are in remote, in
accessible neighborhoods, very seldom
visited and almost never mentioned in
print. One bridge is in Walker Coun-
w, Alabama. II spans about 100 feet,
Is some 20 feet high, and is said to DO
fully equal to the famous bridge In
Virginia. In the sandstone that under
lies the coal formation, it is the center

In Christian County, Kentucky, is an
other bridge, having a span of 20 feet
and height of 1870. California boasts
of five of these curiosities the largest
being on small creek emptying into
the fork of the Trinity river, where a
Sast ledge of rock crosses the valley.
The creek runs under the ledge through
an arch 20 feet high and 2S0 feet span.
Siskiyou County, on Lost river, are
two conglomerate sandstone bridges,
so close that they are often called the
Twins. In Tuolune County, on Coyote
creek, are also two bridges within half
n mile of one another, some 40 feet
high, and having a span of 290 to 800
feet. Thus there are eight natural
bridges in all. and probably others that

Vailed vigorously, yet yigilant at glance,

With eyes severe and skirts of youthful cut
Full of dress saws and modish instances,
To teach her girls their part. The six ages

"Philopena.'.


The word means "a love penalty"
and was born of courtship and love.
We give you short story. A par
lrician in Rome admired beautiful
plebeian girl, but as she was not OF
his rank, he did not think TO marry
but to be her lover. She refused all
his advances and told him her blood
was as red as his, her skin as fair,
and her honor as dear to her as that
of his sisters were to them. He was
struck with her noble answer and
said she should have been born a
partrician. "Make me one" she said
to him. GLOW can l except l marry
your" ado that" she said. mo, 1
am a partrician." "Here, l have
almonds in my bag" said the plebe-
ian girl, 1--WE will eat double one
together, and The penalty shall be
this: Ifyou take anything from me
that offer you, then will demand
present worthy your rank and po-
sition, and if l take anything from
you | will give you anything you
may demand of me-" The partrician
jumped at the bargain, and in few
moments offered the rich ring he
wore. She refused it; he then offer
ed her purse Of gold; she refused
that. She offered him nothing. As
they were about parting, she said !:
81 will give you kiss so you will re-
member me-" and he gladly let her
kiss him. "Now." she said, make
me your wife, for you have taken a
kiss from me- lie saw that lie was
caught, and said "Philopena," a love
